Panoramic PC-1000 x-ray machine is missing...

Anybody here ever use, fix, or take apart a panoramic-type x-ray machine?



I had this sitting in my driveway for months, after unexpectedly winning it at an industrial liquidator's auction for $46.
It may be no coincidence that this model (Panoramic PC-1000) was subject to a recall notice about a month before that. A vertical-motion jackscrew nut can fail, and the mfr was afraid of the overhead assembly coming down to clobber some unlucky patient.

Eventually I listed it on Craigslist for free, with tubehead and associated electronics not included. Pulled the head just before responder #1 showed up to take the machine away.



Anyway, to make a long story short, I also kept some associated power resistors, diode, rheostat, variac, kVp meter, etc.
It would be nice if someone here has a schematic showing how they go together, or service manual giving the typical AC voltages at the tubehead terminals.









Where's a good place to host the videos?
